Waterfall (Japanese: たきのぼり Waterfall Climb) is a damage-dealing Water-type move introduced in Generation I. It is HM07 in Generations II, III, and IV; HM05 in Generations V and VI; and TM98 in Generation VII. Prior to Generation II, it was the signature move of Goldeen and Seaking.

Effect

In battle

Generations I to III

Waterfall does damage and has no secondary effect.

Generation IV

Waterfall now has a 20% chance of causing the target to flinch.

Outside of battle

Starting in Generation II, Waterfall has an effect outside battle that allows players to climb waterfalls. Note that in Generations II and III, the HM move Waterfall is not required to go down waterfalls, whereas in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum versions, it is required. This is probably to prevent players from getting stuck from accidentally going down a waterfall and being unable to get back up. Despite this, in HeartGold and SoulSilver versions, it is no longer required to go down waterfalls, likely because of a lack of accessible down falls without first climbing up one.
